HORROR IN THE RED DISTRICT (DOCUMENTAL PROLOGUE)

Prologue to the feature film Horror no Bairro Vermelho, it confronts a paragraph from Lovecraft with a photo diary of the concentration camp in Auschwitz, in 2011. The text, taken from “The Call of Cthulhu”, is from 1926, anticipating the holocausts of World War II. The title of the film is inspired by another Lovecraft’s short story, “The Horror at Red Hook”, about a district with brick houses – like Auschwitz. Shot in 3D, this is the two-dimensional version.
